The purpose of any 【C1】______ interview is to choose the right person for the job in quest

ion or to select someone who shows potential 【C2】______ more senior posts. Interviews may not represent the ideal method of selecting staff. For one thing, how long you will wait will depend on the job in question. The lower the level of the job, the quicker you will discover how good you were 【C3】______ your selection. Be clear what you are trying to achieve by the interview and how you intend to do it.

Interviewing requires many skills which only develop with the practice. Be careful that you are not being 【C4】______ in your judgments; try to be objective wherever possible. An example may illustrate the point. If you interview a long-haired applicant, you may be 【C5】______ by the length of his hair; you may 【C6】______ the long hair with untidinss, dirt or laziness. This is a subjective judgment—another interviewer may not be affected by hair length in the same way.

Subjective misjudgment is sometimes called the " 【C7】______ and horn effect". This is how it works. We meet someone neatly dressed and well 【C8】______ and from this we assume that they are all things good; they will be reliable, honest, hard working, etc. We are blinded by their halo. 【C9】______ , on meeting a roughly spoken scruffy individual we decide they will be unreliable, careless and lazy. We only see their horns. This problem needs to be overcome, since we could so easily overlook first-class candidates for vital posts because we 【C10】______ objective.
